Fantasy Football FF247 Team Gameweek 36
Continuing our downward trend, probably as further punishment for having invested in Liverpool the previous GW… we managed to drop 1741 spots and landed in 4623th place. You sorta know is not going to be your week when you have a 17 point keeper sitting on the bench. We hate to do this, but let’s quickly go over how our team performed or didn’t perform in GW35 before we discuss our transfer plans for the upcoming week.
Damn you Ospina! You just can’t trust a Colombian to deliver…well at least not in this realm of work. If leaving our huge score (Myhill) on the bench wasn’t enough, we had a poor showing from our back line to compound things. Clyne only brought in one point and PvA who came in off the bench for Moreno (boooo) only amassed two points. Our last defender John Terry was able to put up a respectable showing, but far from spectacular. Please let us move on to our wonderful midfield.
*$%#*# is about what we have to say about our double Liverpool mids. Hendo and Sterling have been a big disappointment since they were acquired. In fact we can see the plane flying over our team headquarters asking for the sacking of the two. Cesc hasn’t exactly gave us the kind of returns we hoped for since he re-entered our side. It seems the only one we can consistently count on is Hazard. Although he did scare us a bit there when he missed the penalty.
Leading our line we the had washed up Harry Kane who scored a yellow and nothing else. He was complimented beautifully by Giroud who was ignored by his Arsenal mates, as they looked to keep the play away from both Hull and Olivier in equal respect. In our last spot we had the always dependable Sergio Aguero who has now scored in 4 straight. Now please let us move along to GW36 and our plans, as 35 makes us noxious…

Transfer(s) for GW36 – Sold Clyne and Fabregas. Bought McShane and Sanchez
We could have made 9 different transfer combinations this week in all honesty as that’s how many were proposed initially and probably sums up the dilemma that most managers have this week. The Arsenal / Sunderland DGW ahead confuses matters somewhat for this week as we feel that any transfer not involving a DGW player may be a waste.
The weekly team meeting itself was an odd one as we had one board member cry off due to an imminent birth (welcome to the world Theodore, AKA Ed, Ted or even Teddy P), one cry off with a suspected coronary (seriously), and one just brazenly leave to watch cricket in the rain and get drunk! #Irish 😉
The initial plan was to get Benteke and leave Sanchez until next week but it was thwarted by a small price rise so instead we went straight to Plan B and brought Sanchez in for Fabregas. In order to do so we needed funds and so Clyne was the sacrificial lamb. We opted for a cheap and cheerful McShane at home against Burnley who haven’t scored for years. Knowing our recent luck they surely will but in theory a clean sheet covers our hit and sees us into Monday night happy to welcome Sanchez into our team with a goal or two against Swansea at home.

Morning guys.
Quick quesiton, would you start Ramsey or Vardy? Hearing that Ramsey is not likely to start.. would really suck if he came on for a 1 pointer, but then again, if he starts then I might be screwed.
What do you think? Ramsey or Vardy from start?
Ramsey is very unlikely to be risked with Wilshere coming back. Vardy will have a lot to play for, so him.
For me too. Vardy is in great form
Thx guys. Vardy it is
Morning,
So for this GW, I’m contemplating a -8! They all seem like sound moves though, the players could all pay me back this week. The moves I want to do are Kane >> Benteke, Sterling >> Sanchez and Terry >> Bellerin. Should I do them?
Morning Veer.
I wanted Benteke and Sanchez and had to compromise by keeping Kane.
If you have the funds I would give it the green light if you need to catch someone in your mini league.
I did similar moves, Terry, Sterling and Kane out for Bellerin, Ramsey and Bentekkers… Well, the Ramsey move obviously didnt go as planned but hey! You can do better with Sanchez 😉 I’d go for it!
Thanks!
I’m just hesitant to sell Terry, he could easily get 2 or 3 more CS this season. After doing the first two, I’m at -1.3, so can you think of any other way to raise funds?
That would mean sacrificing Migno for Myhill or Hazard… Migno for Myhill or Terry for Bellerin for me.
Sorry.. Myhill is 4,1 now. So no.. can’t see any better options
Yeah was thinking the same.
Thanks!
Please could you select one player from the following to play this GW:
1. Bertrand (lei)
2. Schlupp (SOU)
3. Albrighton (SOU)
4. Bolasie (MUN)
Don’t know whether to back long term solidity of Southampton and hope they can replicate previous form or jump on Leicester’s band wagon. Thoughts?
Bolasie for me
